This conversation will invite you to lean into God, gain trust in Him as you navigate the feeling of being in the financial valley without seeing a way out.

• Melissa's journey on being obedient to what God is calling her to
  
  

• The importance resting in the fact that God is with you along the way
  
  

• That it is actually okay for Christians women to earn good money

I hear it all the time. "Someday I will _______ (fill in the blank: be debt free, retire early, learn how to budget, take my family on vacation, give more, have that 2nd home…)." But what I notice is very few people actually meet that vision God has for them.

In this behind-the-scenes episode I'm sharing what I learned on my recent Solo Retreat. I didn't even realize I had this limiting belief–until God revealed it to me during our time together.

We often think one thing has to end for another to begin. We think that we need to release some things in order to move forward. But what if that wasn't true at all?

Inside this conversation, you'll hear:

• How God can grow us through expansion, not elimination
  
  

• Why obedience doesn't come with urgency
  
  

• That you can praise God while still waiting on Him
  
  

This episode isn't about making a huge transition or a big decision. It's abobut listening, trusting and allowing God's timing to unfold without forcing things.

Scripture reference: Ecclesiastes 3:1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.

Takeaway– It's not always necessary to give up something to move toward your calling.

I'm diving deep into walking with the Lord this year in 2026 and part of that faith walk is asking Him what He wants me to share with you. When I was walking through the airport last week, out of the blue, He gave me this: Give the women who listen to you TRUTH. They need a simple list of affirmations that speak to them and represent me.

And so, this podcast was born.

Inside this episode you'll hear the download of the financial affirmations God put on my heart to share with you. They flowed onto my paper in about 20 minutes. My hope is that they inspire you & help you seek the truth.

Scripture reference: Matthew 6:31-33 Therefore do not worry saying 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For after these things the Gentiles seek. For your Heavenly Father knows that you need these things. But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added to you.

Takeaway– Getting closer to the Lord is the key in mastering your finances.
